Smoktech Vmax Owners - tips, tricks and quirks

[Mveraldi]

I've Finally got my SS Vmax I am Loving it I Looks and performs Great!!!

Used wax cord which looks and feels like leather. Knitted socks are popular here but yarn does not suit stainless steel IMHO....besides, I never learned to knit. lol.

Have no idea what "wax cord" is? Have a link to a location that sells something like that.

Seems like someone would have come up with different colors of an absorbent stretch type tube that could stretch over different size PVs and cut to the length needed. Something similar to the knitted socks you mention but not be able to unravel.

Has anyone have their button push in like this?

I wasn't pushing it hard or anything, just normal usage. It happened once, I managed to stick a pen up inside and jam it into place, but the 2nd time it happened I couldn't fix it. Anyways, I've done an RMA, I'm just wondering if this is a common occurrence?

Wax Cord is used to make jewelries like bracelets and whatnot. Its usually available in your local hobby shop.

I also made something similar using shoelaces. I'll post a picture as soon as I get a chance.

Anyone have an idea what this "VZ PRO mod" is? Has a 5amp limit and looks similar to the VMax but uses a single 18650 battery. Looks like a Vmax knockoff, even similar to the ZMax but no specs to indicate that is the case. Nice looking unit at a reasonable price if it will hold up.

VZ PRO Mod/APV 510/eGo (Body Only) 3 to 6 Volt - E Cig : Joye eGo & eGo-T | Boge Leo | Cartomizers | E-Liquid | Electronic Cigarettes | eGo Tank

Edit: After closer inspection it appears it might screw together at the center like the new LT V2 or that terrible Vision Tox that I lost nearly $30 on after all the deductions Kalamzoo Vapor tacked on for returning the non functioning unit.

Wouldn't mind trying this one but VaporZone has a fairly limited warranty period.

Thanks Shofixti! I didn't understand what I was looking at and didn't realize you had done some weaving. Had hope it was a sleeve of some sort.

Really depends on the resistance of your atomizer bro.

I am getting a resistance at 2.8 ohm. What would you recommend ? Your personal preference perhaps?

Thanks

 

[kumkum]

If i am using it with Vivi Nova, i have the option to get long wick resistance head of 1.8, 2.4, 2.8, 3.2 and 4 ohms. What would work best with vmax 2 and what voltage would you suggest.

Thanks

Vaporbeast does not have that mod.

I would go for the 3.2 ohm heads all the way. It will let you get the most out of your VMax.

It all depends on you. Also depends on the head you have in your vivi. Start with fresh batts and at 3.0V and work your way to the sweetspot. I use a 2.8 Ohm, self wicked, and usually use it at 3,5V (comes out at about 4-4.3V "real" voltage).

Don't be afraid, just start at 3.0V and adjust as you like it better or worse...... Afterall it is a VV device.

Good luck

I haven't found anything yet that I can go past 4v with and it not be too much. I'm using 3v on almost eveything I have right now. Course, I don't have any really high ohm stuff since I've just got into VV in the past few months.

What is the technique for button clicking to get the resistance of the coil?
My V2 (timeeast) didn't come with a manual. I just use the first two menu's... up or down voltage.

 

[martinc]

7 slow clicks then select "dA"

don't be skeered to try the other options out.
voltage up
voltage down
on/off
battery voltage remaining (just tells you, changes nothing)
display toggle between voltage remaining, voltage output, ohms
led display when firing on/off

That's the order of one through six of the menus

 

[ukeman]

when it gets to Da, what to do? another click?

7 slow clicks then select "dA"

I've got a LR coil on my Fatty. at 3v it's nice.

Were you thinking of anything in particular at VaporBeast? All I see are 2.5amp and possibly a 3amp unit, all of which have been at most vendors for months. The item I linked to is a new item on the market as far as I can tell.

Something new that some may be interested in is MVs clone of the ZMax for $72 delivered. Smoktech Zmax Variable Volt APV

Edit: The 10% discount code for the $72 price is "LOVETOVAPE". Free shipping over $75

Appears to be the same thing Vaping Zone has in stock for $70. One big difference is the warranty, the one at VZ stinks by comparison to VaporBeast.

The clone at MV is starting to look better to me with a 90 day warranty.

Scott Bonner did a review on something that looks like that , piece of crap IMO
